Understanding the GB Power Market

Energy UK, in collaboration with LCP Delta, delivers this training course that focuses on financing power stations, generating electricity and trading across markets. This training will provide attendees with a detailed understanding of the main power markets (Wholesale Market, Balancing Mechanism, Ancillary Services, Capacity Market and Contracts for Difference), a breakdown of power asset costs and revenue (Capex, Opex and O&M), network charging, and building the business case for a new asset.

This training course is aimed at:
  • Those joining the energy industry as an experienced hire
  • Those with a good working knowledge in the energy industry who want further their knowledge of electricity markets
